Steve Cooks Stuff — Private In-Home Cooking Classe Steve Cooks Stuff — Private In-Home Cooking Classes for Men

Step out from behind the grill and into the kitchen with Chef Steve Gatlin of Steve Cooks Stuff. These private, in-home cooking classes are designed for men who want to cook simple, impressive, mouthwatering dishes—without intimidation, pretension, or culinary ego.

Whether you’re a self-proclaimed bachelor, a husband looking to surprise your partner, or just a guy who’s tired of being “the BBQ guy,” this class breaks down the stereotypes and builds real kitchen confidence.

What Makes This Class Different
Built for Men – Clear steps, real techniques, zero fluff

Simple but Impressive Dishes – Restaurant-level results using approachable methods

Comfort First – No judgment, no pressure, no prior experience required

Entertainment Included – Chef Steve blends the humor and personality fans love from his show with hands-on instruction

Cook + Eat – You’ll prepare the dishes and sit down to enjoy them together

Who It’s Perfect For
🍳 The Bachelor – Learn dishes that actually impress on date night
💍 Married or Partnered Men – Cook something memorable for someone special
👬 The Fellas – A group session that’s part cooking class, part hangout
🎉 Bachelor Parties – A new twist that beats another night at the bar
🎁 Gifts – A unique, experience-driven gift that actually gets used

What You’ll Learn
Foundational kitchen skills (knife work, timing, seasoning)

Cast-iron techniques and stovetop confidence

How to plate food so it looks as good as it tastes

Signature Steve Cooks Stuff dishes that feel elevated—but are repeatable at home

How to cook calmly, confidently, and with style

No yelling, no “chef school” nonsense—just real food, real skills, and a damn good time.

The Experience
Classes are hosted in your home, using your kitchen and equipment, so everything you learn translates directly into your real life. Chef Steve adapts the menu and pacing to your group, making sure everyone leaves feeling confident, capable, and ready to cook again.

The Takeaway
This isn’t about becoming a professional chef.
It’s about becoming dangerous in the kitchen—in the best way possible.
Cook better.
Impress harder.
